The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has created a nicely done interactive webpage addressing climate change and public health in the United States.

Children, the elderly, and communities living in poverty are among the most vulnerable. Click on a state on the map for more information on climate-health threats, actions being taken to prepare communities, and what you can do.
